Purpose Ischaemic preconditioning (PC) is a cardioprotective phenomenon in which short periods of myocardial ischaemia result in resistance to decreased contractile dysfunction during a subsequent period of sustained ischaemia. Nicorandil, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener, can induce PC effects on sympathetic nerves during myocardial ischaemia. However, its effects on cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) and left ventricular remodelling have not been determined. In this study, we sought to determine whether nicorandil administration improves CSNA in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods We studied 58 patients with first anterior AMI, who were randomly assigned to receive nicorandil (group A) or isosorbide dinitrate (group B) after primary coronary angioplasty. The nicorandil or isosorbide dinitrate was continuously infused for >48 h. The extent score (ES) was determined from 99mTc-pyrophosphate scintigraphy, and the total defect score (TDS) was determined from 201Tl scintigraphy 3–5 days after primary angioplasty. The left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were determined by left ventriculography 2 weeks later. The delayed heart/mediastinum count (H/M) ratio, delayed TDS and washout rate (WR) were determined from 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) images 3 weeks later. The left ventriculography results were re-examined 6 months after treatment.Results Fifty patients originally enrolled in the trial completed the entire protocol. After treatment, no significant differences were observed in ES or left ventricular parameters between the two groups. However, in group A (n=25), the TDSs determined from 201Tl and 123I-MIBG were significantly lower (26±6 vs 30±5, P<0.01, and 32±8 vs 40±6, P<0.0001, respectively), the H/M ratio significantly higher (1.99±0.16 vs 1.77±0.30, P<0.005) and the WR significantly lower (36%±8% vs 44%±12%, P<0.005) than in group B (n=25). Moreover, 6 months after treatment, LVEDV and LVEF were better in group A than in group B.Conclusion These findings indicate that nicorandil can have beneficial effects on CSNA and left ventricular remodelling in patients with first anterior AMI. 相似文献

Many studies have shown that a one-time 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphic study during a stable period is useful for determining the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the findings from this imaging modality are well known to be improved by medical treatment for heart failure. Accordingly, this study was performed to determine whether serial 123I-MIBG scintigraphic studies represent a reliable prognostic marker for patients with CHF. METHODS: A total of 208 patients with CHF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 45%) and with no cardiac events for at least 5 mo were identified on the basis of a history of decompensated acute heart failure requiring hospitalization. The delayed percentage of denervation (% denervation), delayed heart-to-mediastinum count (H/M) ratio, and washout rate (WR) were determined from the patients' 123I-MIBG images just before they left the hospital and after they had received 6 mo of treatment. The left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and LVEF were also determined by echocardiography at the same time points. RESULTS: Of the 208 patients, 56 experienced fatal cardiac events during the study. The mean follow-up period was 4.45 +/- 1.82 y. The baseline H/M ratio and WR; follow-up % denervation, H/M ratio, and WR; Delta-% denervation, H/M ratio, and WR; baseline LVEF; follow-up LVEDV, LVESV, and LVEF; and Delta-LVEDV, Delta-LVESV, and Delta-LVEF were significantly worse in the cardiac death group. A Cox regression analysis showed that the Delta-WR was an independent predictor of cardiac death. Moreover, sudden death occurred in 13 of the 56 patients with cardiac death. A Cox regression analysis also showed that the Delta-WR was an incremental predictor of sudden death. The cardiac death-free rate and sudden death-free rate were significantly higher in patients with Delta-WR less than -5% and Delta-WR less than -2% than in patients with Delta-WR greater than or equal to -5% and Delta-WR greater than or equal to -2%. CONCLUSION: Delta-WR obtained from serial 123I-MIBG scintigraphic studies can be useful for predicting cardiac death and sudden death in stabilized patients with CHF. 相似文献

The activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system prevents the uptake of norepinephrine in the myocardium. However, the additive effects of combined spironolactone and candesartan on cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) have not been determined. We investigated the effects of the angiotensin-receptor blocker candesartan alone and in combination with spironolactone on CSNA in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Fifty patients with CHF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 45%) were randomly assigned to candesartan plus spironolactone (group A; n = 25) or to candesartan alone (group B; n = 25). All patients were also treated with a loop diuretic. The delayed percent denervation, delayed heart-to-mediastinum count (H/M) ratio, and washout rate (WR) were determined from (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration was measured before and 6 mo after treatment. The LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV), and LVEF were also determined by echocardiography. RESULTS: After 6 mo, all of these parameters were improved in both groups. However, the degree of change in the percent denervation was -14 +/- 12 in group A and -7 +/- 10 in group B (P < 0.05); the change in the H/M ratio was 0.19 +/- 0.18 in group A and 0.08 +/- 0.14 in group B (P < 0.05), the change in WR was -12% +/- 8% in group A and -5% +/- 13% in group B (P < 0.05), and the change in plasma BNP was -100 +/- 83 pg/mL in group A and -43 +/- 97 pg/mL in group B (P < 0.05). The degree of change in LVEDV, LVESV, and LVEF in group A tended to be better than that in group B, but these changes were not statistically significant. Moreover, there were significant correlations between changes in the (123)I-MIBG scintigraphic findings and changes in the LVEDV (% denervation, r = 0.692, P < 0.001; H/M ratio, r = -0.437, P < 0.05; and WR, r = 0.505, P < 0.01) or the LVESV (% denervation, r = 0.663, P < 0.001; H/M ratio, r = -0.438, P < 0.05; and WR, r = 0.532, P < 0.01) in group A. In contrast, there was no relationship between these parameters in group B. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the combination of spironolactone and candesartan may be more beneficial for CSNA and LV performance than candesartan alone in patients with CHF. 相似文献

We determined whether the addition of the angiotensin-receptor blocker valsartan to an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor improves cardiac sympathetic nerve activity and left ventricular function in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Thirty-two patients with CHF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%; mean, 33% +/- 6%) were treated with an ACE inhibitor and a loop diuretic. Sixteen patients (group A) were randomized to additionally receive valsartan (40-80 mg/d), and the remaining 16 patients (group B) continued their current regimen. Patients were studied before and 6 mo after treatment. The delayed heart-to-mediastinum count ratio (H/M ratio), delayed total defect score (TDS), and washout rate (WR) were determined from (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine images. The left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and LVEF were determined by echocardiography, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class was estimated. RESULTS: Before treatment, TDS, H/M ratio, WR, LVEDV, LVEF, and NYHA functional class were similar in both groups. After treatment in group A, TDS decreased from 37 +/- 8 to 31 +/- 9 (P < 0.001), H/M ratio increased from 1.66 +/- 0.23 to 1.81 +/- 0.23 (P < 0.001), and WR decreased from 47% +/- 9% to 39% +/- 10% (P < 0.01). In addition, the LVEDV decreased from 193 +/- 36 mL to 169 +/- 51 mL (P < 0.005), and LVEF increased from 32% +/- 7% to 41% +/- 13% (P = 0.0005). In group B, these parameters did not change significantly. NYHA functional class improved in both groups (in group A, from 3.3 +/- 0.5 to 1.7 +/- 0.6 [P < 0.0005]; in group B, from 3.3 +/- 0.5 to 2.4 +/- 0.6; [P < 0.005]). The improvement was significantly greater in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The addition of valsartan to an ACE inhibitor improves cardiac sympathetic nerve activity, left ventricular function, and symptoms in patients with CHF. 相似文献

Purpose
Late ventricular potentials (LPs) are considered to be useful for identifying patients with heart failure at risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias. 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, which is used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic activity, has demonstrated cardiac sympathetic denervation in patients with malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. This study was undertaken to clarify the relationship between LPs and 123I-MIBG scintigraphy findings in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).Methods
A total of 56 patients with DCM were divided into an LP-positive group (n?=?24) and an LP-negative group (n?=?32). During the compensated period, the delayed heart/mediastinum count (H/M) ratio, delayed total defect score (TDS), and washout rate (WR) were determined from 123I-MIBG images and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations were measured. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were simultaneously determined by echocardiography.Results
LVEDV, LVESV, LVEF and plasma BNP concentrations were similar in the two groups. However, TDS was significantly higher (35?±?8 vs. 28?±?6, p?0.005), the H/M ratio was significantly lower (1.57?±?0.23 vs. 1.78?±?0.20, p?0.005), and the WR was significantly higher (60?±?14% vs. 46?±?12%, p?0.001) in the LP-positive than in the LP-negative group. The average follow-up time was 4.5?years, and there were nine sudden deaths among the 56 patients (16.1%). In logistic regression analysis, the incidences of sudden death events were similar in those LP-negative with WR <50%, LP-negative with WR ≥50% and LP-positive with WR <50% (0%, 10.0% and 14.3%, respectively), but was significantly higher (41.2%) in those LP-positive with WR ≥50% (p?0.01, p?0.05, and p?0.05, respectively).Conclusion
The present study demonstrated that the values of cardiac 123I-MIBG scintigraphic parameters were worse in LP-positive DCM patients than in LP-negative DCM patients. Furthermore, in LP-positive DCM patients with a high WR, the incidence of sudden death events was higher than that in other subgroups of DCM patients. 相似文献6.

BACKGROUND: In contrast to 201TlCl, 99mTc-sestamibi shows very slow myocardial clearance after its initial myocardial uptake. In the present study, myocardial washout of 99mTc-sestamibi was calculated in patients with non-ischemic chronic heart failure (CHF) and compared with biventricular parameters obtained from first-pass and ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT data. METHODS AND RESULTS: After administration of 99mTc-sestamibi, 25 patients with CHF and 8 normal controls (NC) were examined by ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT and planar data acquisition in the early and delayed (interval of 3 hours) phase. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, %), peak filling rate (PFR, sec(-1)), end-diastolic volume (LVEDV, ml) and end-systolic volume (LVESV, ml) were automatically calculated from the ECG-gated SPECT data. Myocardial washout rates over 3 hours were calculated from the early and delayed planar images. Myocardial washout rates in the CHF group (39.6+/-5.2%) were significantly higher than those in the NC group (31.2+/-5.5%, p < 0.01). The myocardial washout rates for the 33 subjects showed significant correlations with LVEF (r = -0.61, p < 0.001), PFR (r = -0.47, p < 0.01), LVEDV (r = 0.45, p < 0.01) and LVESV (r = 0.48, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The myocardial washout rate of 99Tc-sestamibi is considered to be a novel marker for the diagnosis of myocardial damage in patients with chronic heart failure. 相似文献

Background During rotational atherectomy (RA), the coronary atherosclerotic plaque is largely pulverized into microdebris, which may
cause serious hemodynamic instability owing to significant segmental left ventricular asynergy embolization of the distal
microvasculature by atheromatous debris and associated vasospasm.
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) in the examination of microvascular embolization after RA.
Methods and results Nineteen patients with stable effort angina pectoris who had undergone RA were evaluated in this study. Left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF) was determined by left ventriculography immediately before and after RA. The serum concentration of creatine
phosphokinase (CPK), creatine phosphokinase-myocardial band (CPK-MB) isozyme, and cardiac troponin-T was determined after
RA. 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) and 123I-MIBG scintigraphic examinations were also performed 1 day after RA. The regional defect score (RDS) was determined from
99mTc-MIBI scintigraphic findings, while early and delayed RDS, heart-to-mediastinum count ratios (H/M ratios), and washout rate
(WR) were determined from 123I-MIBG scintigraphy. After RA, the left ventriculographic LVEF mildly decreased by ≤10% in ten patients (group A), but it
decreased by >10% in the remaining nine patients (group B). There were no differences in baseline clinical characteristics
between the two groups. The CPK, CPK-MB isozyme, troponin-T, RDS by 99mTc-MIBI, H/M ratios, and WR after RA were similar in the two groups. However, the RDSs determined from early and delayed 123I-MIBG in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (4.5 ± 3.8 vs. 13.4 ± 10.8, P < 0.05; 9.0 ± 6.3 vs. 17.7 ± 10.0, P < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, there were significant correlations between delta LVEF and troponin-T (r = 0.54, P < 0.05) and RDSs of early and delayed 123I-MIBG (r = 0.46, P < 0.05; r = 0.64, P < 0.05, respectively).
Conclusions These findings suggest that 123I-MIBG imaging can be used to evaluate microvascular disturbance caused by embolization by microdebris after RA. 相似文献

Equilibrium gated radionuclide ventriculography was used to evaluate the effect of intravenous fat-emulsion overload and excess of free fatty acids (FFA) on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in 20 patients with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). Fifteen of these patients had normal (>50%) baseline LVEF and 5 had low (<50%) baseline LVEF. From 100 to 150 ml of 20% artificial fat emulsion (Liposyn) was infused over 20–25 min. At the end of the infusion, triglyceridemia reached 820±220 mg% and left ventricular ejection fraction decreased from baseline 62±19% (mean±SD) to 58±16% (P<0.05, paired t-test). After completion of Liposyn infusion, 5,000 U of heparin was administered intravenously and monitoring of LVEF was continuod. One and one-half hours following heparin administration, plasma FFA levels reached 3.7+2.0 mmol/l and LVEF rose to 69±19% (P<0.001, paired t-test). Our data indicate that acute intravenous fat overload can suppress and high pathophysiologic levels of FFA can increase LVEF. This effect is more uniform and statistically more reliable in patients with normal LVEF. The study failed to demonstrate any significant difference in the effect of this pharmacologic intervention between patients with and without CAD. 相似文献

Gated SPECT is a reproducible method for assessing left ventricular volume (LVV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging studies. LVV and LVEF measurements by this approach correlate well with those obtained from other cardiovascular imaging techniques. Nevertheless, the lack of criteria for abnormal test findings has limited the potential clinical application of this new imaging technique. METHODS: Gated SPECT measurements were evaluated for 214 patients with a low Bayesian likelihood (< 10%) of coronary artery disease (CAD) before performance of 99mTc-sestamibi stress-rest myocardial perfusion SPECT. The patients were grouped into normotensive patients (n = 98), hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (n = 80), and hypertensive patients with LVH on resting electrocardiography (n = 36). Gated SPECT measurements for left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) index, left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) index, and LVEF were obtained according to a published method, using a modified Simpson's rule technique. RESULTS: Similar results were obtained for mean LVV and LVEF measurements between normotensive patients and hypertensive patients without LVH. Hence, these groups were combined (as group 1). By contrast, hypertensive patients with LVH (group 2), had significantly lower LVEF values (P = 0.01) and higher mean LVESV index values than normotensive patients (P = 0.03). Sex differences were marked: women had significantly higher mean resting LVEF values than men (P < 0.0001) and significantly lower mean resting LVEDV index values (P < 0.0001). A significant relationship was seen between LVEDV index and LVEF (r = -0.60; P < 0.0001) and between LVEDV index and heart rate (r = -0.26; P < 0.001). The normal limits were LVEF > or = 41% in men and > or = 49% in women, LVEDV index < or = 76 mL/m2 in men and < or = 57 mL/m2 in women, and LVESV index < or 38 mL/m2 in men and < or =26 mL/m2 in women. Among hypertensive patients, 22% with LVH had an abnormally low LVEF and 19% had an increased LVEDV index according to these test criteria. By contrast, no hypertensive patients without LVH had an abnormally low LVEF, and only 6% had volume abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Using a cohort of low-likelihood patients, we generated sex-specific normal limits for LVV and LVEF for myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Application of these findings resulted in the detection of occult left ventricular dysfunction in approximately one fifth of hypertensive patients for whom concomitant LVH was found through resting electrocardiography. These normal limits can now be evaluated prospectively for their potential clinical value. 相似文献

Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) causes structural changes (e.g., fibrosis) that result in diastolic and systolic myocardial dysfunction. Alterations of 31P metabolism and cardiac energy impairments were assessed in patients with HHD by MR spectroscopy (MRS) and correlated with left ventricular systolic function. Thirty-six patients with HHD and 20 healthy controls (mean age 35.2±10.7 years) were examined with 31P-MRS at 1.5 T by using an ECG-gated CSI sequence. Twenty-five patients (mean age 64.3±9.3 years) had diastolic dysfunction, but preserved systolic function (HHD-D), whereas 11 patients (62.3±11.4 years) suffered from additional impaired systolic function (HHD-S). In both patient groups, the PCr/γ-ATP ratio was lower than in the controls (controls: 2.07±0.17; P<0.001), and in HHD-S was lower than in HHD-D (1.43±0.21 vs. 1.65±0.25; P=0.012). PCr/γ-ATP ratios were linearly correlated with LVEF (Pearson's r: 0.39; P=0.025). In the HHD-S group, the PDE/γ-ATP ratio was significantly lower (0.56±0.36) than in the controls (1.14±0.42; P=0.001). In contrast to the group of HHD-D patients, whose slightly decreased PCr/γ-ATP ratios compared to controls may be explained by age differences, the more distinct changes observed in HHD-S patients indicate an altered energy metabolism. The observed metabolic changes were related to functional impairments, as indicated by a reduced LVEF. Reduced PDE/ATP ratios indicate changes in the phospholipid metabolism. 相似文献

Most exercise radionuclide studies utilise the supine bicycle ergometer during imaging, although exercise on a treadmill results in greater cardiovascular stress. Twenty-three patients were studied to compare the radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) estimated immediately following treadmill exercise with that obtained at peak supine bicycle exercise in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and patients with normal coronary arteries.In 14 patients with CAD the rest LVEF was 47±7% (mean±SD) by first pass and 49±10% by equilibrium blood pool techniques. Immediately following maximum treadmill exercise, 13 of the 14 patients with coronary artery disease showed either no change or a decrease in LVEF, the LVEF was 49±7% (P=NS) and 47±8% (P=NS) by first pass and equilibrium determinations respectively. In comparison the LVEF during peak supine bicycle exercise decreased significantly to 42±12% (P<0.01). In nine patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries the rest LVEF was 51±4% by first pass and 54±6% by equilibrium, increasing to 67±7% (P<0.01) and 64±7% (P<0.01) respectively following treadmill exercise. During peak bicycle exercise LVEF increased in the normal patients to 61±7% (P<0.05).These data suggest that quantitative radionuclide angiography following either maximum treadmill exercise or during peak bicycle exercise can discriminate between patients with coronary artery disease and normal subjects, although the magnitude of left ventricular functional changes are greater during bicycle stress. 相似文献

Background
Transient ischaemic dilation (TID) on myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important finding, conveying a high risk of subsequent cardiac events. However, the mechanism leading to TID on MPI is not well elucidated. This study aimed to determine if TID is due to true LV cavity dilation and ventricular stunning, or is due to relative subendocardial hypoperfusion.Methods
31 patients undergoing single-day Tc-99m adenosine sestamibi MPI were recruited. All had routine ECG-gated single-day rest-stress adenosine MPI, with transthoracic echocardiograms (echo) acquired concurrently at rest, and both immediately, and 2?hours, post-stress. Echocardiography was performed using a Vivid-7 (GE). LV volumes and LVEF were quantified blinded to MPI results, using biplane Simpson method on echo, and quantitatively (including TID) with QGS?, on MPI.Results
Patients were divided into quartiles for TID, with the top quartile considered TID positive [TID+ 9/31 (TID ratio 1.3?±?0.09)], and TID negative [TID? 22/31 (TID ratio 1.01?±?0.04)]. There was good correlation between resting echo and MPI physical measurements (LVEDV r 2?=?0.79, LVESV r 2?=?0.9, and LVEF r 2?=?0.75). On MPI, a significant drop in LVEF was observed between rest and early stress in the TID+ group (56.6% vs 46.5%, P?<?.002), as well as an increase in both LVESV (62 vs 79?mls, P?<?.0001) and LVEDV (113 vs 131?mls, P?<?.0001). However, no statistically significant change in LVEF, LVESV or LVEDV was identified on concurrent echo imaging (LVEF 57% vs 56%, P?<?.66; LVESV 48 vs 54?mls, P?<?.26; LVEDV 87 vs 97?mls, P?<?.299). No significant change in LVEF or ventricular volumes was noted in the TID? group by either echo or MPI.Conclusion
Transient dilation of the left ventricle on adenosine MPI is not related to chamber enlargement and myocardial stunning, but is more likely a function of subendocardial hypoperfusion and impaired coronary flow reserve. 相似文献17.

PURPOSE: To clinically validate an algorithm that automatically computes left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) using a priori geometric and intrinsic spatiotemporal information from cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The algorithm was evaluated in 64 subjects (21 healthy volunteers and 43 patients, LVEF 19-71%). Bland-Altman analyses were performed on short-axis slices subdivided into three sections (basal, midcavity, and apical) to assess the impact of morphologic variations on LVEF computation. RESULTS: The automated algorithm delineated the clinically applicable endocardial boundary in 1011 of 1078 short-axis slices (94%). The bias (mean difference) values computed with clinically unusable contours replaced with hand-drawn equivalents were small for the LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV, <11 mL/7%), end-systolic volume (LVESV, <7 mL/11%), and LVEF (<1.2%). Moreover, these values were within the limits of interobserver and intraobserver variability of experienced observers (LVEDV, <13 mL/8%; LVESV, <12 mL/17%; and LVEF, <5%). In the end-diastolic phase, the limits of agreement (bias +/- 1.96 SD of difference) were small (<5% LVEDV) in all sections. However, in the end-systolic phase, the limits of agreement were larger for the midcavity (<21% LVESV) and apical (<11% LVESV) slices. CONCLUSION: This data-driven algorithm can estimate LVEDV, LVESV, and LVEF with a bias that is comparable to the interobserver and intraobserver variability of experienced observers. 相似文献

Objective The objective of the present study was to clarify the ability of 123I-beta-methyl-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) to evaluate the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio and myocardial global washout rate (WR) in patients with chronic
heart failure (CHF).
Methods The severity of CHF was evaluated on the basis of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. Twenty patients with
CHF (13 with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and 7 with ischemic cardiomyopathy) and 11 age-matched controls underwent myocardial
radionuclide imaging. Scintigraphic images were obtained from each participant at the early (30 min following radio-isotope
injection) and late (4 h) phases using 123I-BMIPP. The H/M ratio and WR were calculated from planar images. Concentrations of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
were measured prior to the scintigraphic study.
Results The 123I-BMIPP uptake of early H/M and global WR did not significantly differ among groups, but uptake of delayed H/M was significantly
lower in patients with NYHA class III than in controls (control 2.47 ± 0.39; class III 1.78 ± 0.28, P < 0.05). The uptake of delayed H/M and global WR correlated with plasma log BNP in all participants (r = −0.38, P < 0.05; 0.43, P < 0.05, respectively).
Conclusions These data suggest that 123I-BMIPP uptake of delayed H/M enhances the image of CHF severity. The myocardial WR of 123I-BMIPP also effectively depicted the severity of CHF. 相似文献

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured with a cardiac probe (Nuclear Stethoscope, Bios Inc., Valhalla, New York) and 113mIn in 28 normal subjects and 86 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In 20 normal subjects 99mTC-RBCs were compared with 113mIn which binds to transferrin after IV injection. With 99mTc-RBCs, average LVEF was 57±7% (1 SD); with 113mIn, average LVEF was 55±8% (N.S.). Sequential measurements at different times over 60 min revealed good reproducibility.Comparison of LVEFs obtained using 99mTc-RBCs with a gamma camera and cardiac probe revealed a good correlation. The correlation coefficients were 0.92 in 25 patients with CAD and 0.95 in 10 patients with LV wall motion abnormalities.The LVEF obtained using a cardiac probe and 113mIn increased in 28 normals from 57±9% to 64±13% (P<0.001) during handgrip exercise, while the LVEF decreased from 45±9% to 41±10% (P<0.01) in patients with acute myocardial infarction 4–7 weeks after episode, from 48±11 to 40±12% (P<0.001) in patients with old myocardial infarction, and from 52±9 to 42±9% (P<0.001) in patients with angina pectoris.The cardiac probe and 113mIn provide a useful alternate means of determining left ventricular dysfunction in facilities where 99mTc and a gamma camera computer system are not readily available.This work supported in part by USPHS Grant No. GM10548. 相似文献
